Maybe the best solution is to use a "Leaky Bucket" model for the notifications. Each application has its own bucket which has a fixed capacity. Bubbles in the bucket are queued for displaying at a constant rate, equivalent to the size of the hole in the bucket. Obviously if the bucket is empty the bubble will pass through. If the bucket is full every message from that application will be discarded.

Status in Notify OSD: Confirmed Status in “notify-osd” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I'm using pidgin-libnotify and I discovered a problem in notify-osd (maybe a design problem, not sure). When a buddy writes me a lot of lines (say 25) all messages are queued and showed in the bubbles. Every bubble stays there for 7 seconds. 7*25=almost 3 minutes. What happens is that if any other contact writes to me, the bubbles are scheduled too! And also the notifies sent through "notify-send" are. (Instead volume notifies are displayed below.) This is a problem, because it seems that an application can bring the monopoly of the notification bubbles.
